On arrival in Benidorm

There are several options for getting to Benidorm once you've touched down in Alicante. If you hire a car it is a fairly simple drive along the coastal motorway, although there are tolls on this road. There are regular shuttle buses that run direct from the airport to Benidorm, which are probably best booked in advance, or you can use the local buses from Alicante bus station. This is the most thrifty option, but also takes the longest. There is also a FGV train running from Alicante along the coast to Denia which stops at Benidorm at the small train station by the beach.
